India's veteran speedster hit a brilliant 75 when the men in blue were on a Test tour to Bangladesh in 2004. The Tigers had been bowled out for 184 with a brilliant bowling display from Irfan Pathan who had a 5-wicket haul in the first innings.

India's start was not the best with Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, and Rahul Dravid- the 3 top order batsman headed back to the pavilion with scores of 35, 13, and 0, respectively.

Sachin Tendulkar came in at number 4 and hit a brilliant double hundred. The master blaster scored an unbeaten 248 from 379 balls and it was a special innings indeed.

Zaheer Khan came in to bat at number 11 and stayed at the crease for 115 balls, not only helping Tendulkar get his double ton but also making a superb 75 himself. Zak's innings included 10 fours and 2 sixes and both him and Tendulkar would remember it fondly.

Zaheer was eventually stumped by Khaled Mashud with a ball from Mohammad Ashraful.
